Development is far from stopped, which is the problem: we're trying to
stabilize the language, and adding more language-level features will
only delay an already overdue stable language version.

Nevertheless, D has gotten to the point where it's powerful enough that
most feature requests can be implemented in a library rather than as a
language extension. There's been a trend of moving away from core
language changes and implementing desired features in libraries (esp.
Phobos) instead.
